TOBACCO-PIPE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 332,858, dated December22, 1885.

Application flied October 2, 1884. Serial No. 144,529.

(No model.) Patented inEngland January 29, 1884, No. 2,317, and inFrance April 16, 1884, No. 161,566.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES AIKMAN, residing at Glasgow, in the county ofLanark, Scotland, and a subject of the Queenof Great Britain andIreland, have invented certain Improvements in Tobacco Pipes, (for whichI have received patents as follows: in Great Britain January 29, 1884,No. 2,317, and in France April 16, 1884 No. 161,566,) of which thefollowing is a specification.

The object of my invention is to form tobacco-pipes and cigar-holders sothat the nicotine or noxious juices may be prevented from entering thesmokers mouth, and return of saliva from th'e mouth through the bore ofthe pipe to the bowl may also be avoided.

In the accompanying drawings, Figures 1, 2, and 3 represent in sectionsdifferent modications of tobacco-pipes constructed in accordance with myinvention.

In each case the improved pipe (or the stem of the cigar-holder) is madein two parts, A B, which are connected together by a mount, C C', alsoformed in two parts-the one part, C, fixed to the bowl part A, the stemforming a socket-for the other part, C', which is fitted on themouth-piece part B of the stem. The socket part C of the mount forms ahollow recess or cavity, in which the nicotine or simi-v lar juices arecondensed, the direct outflow of -the smoke being through a small hole,d2,

formed in a partition, D, within the socket part C of the mount. Thepartition or door D (shown in Fig. 3) consists of a removable plate,which can be withdrawn from the mount and removed to shake out condensedjuice, and to obtain access to the bore a of the pipe for cleaningpurposes. The other part, C', of the mount is hollow, and is closed atits eX- treme end, but is formed with a large lateral opening, c, forthe passage into it of the smoke,

this part of the mount being inserted into the socket part C to anextent at which the lateral smoke-passage c is entirely within thesocket. The bore of the mouth -piece stem 4 5 terminates in a nipple,al, extending into the hollow part C of the mount about the center ofthe hollow cavity, and any saliva or moisture passing down the bore ofthe mouthpiece drops' from the nipple into the hollow cavity 5o G', andcannot return :again to the smokers mouth. rlhe liquid matter is shakenout through the smoke-passage c when separating the two parts C C of themount to shake out the nicotine from the part C.

In the pipe shown in Fig. l the opening in the partition D is madedirectly opposite the bore of the pipe, to permit of the insertion of abrush or other cleansing device.

I make no claim to any of the parts sep- 6o arately, which are wellknown and in common use; but

What I claim is- The combination, in a tobacco-pipe or cigarholder, ofthe following elements, to wit: the mount O O', formed in two parts, theone part,

C, having formed or fitted in it a perforated partition, D, and theother part, C', which is adapted to rit into the part G, being made inthe form of a tubular cavity for the reception 7o of saliva, with anorifice, c, and being attached to the pipe-stem B, wherein a nipple, a,is f1tted to project into the cavity C', substantially as set forth.

In testimony-whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

JAMES AIKMAN.
